Piotr Chołdagraduated from AGH University of Science and Technology (Krakow, Poland) as a master of science in networking in 2001. Afterwards, he obtained a doctorate in telecommunications in 2006 from the same university. Then, he joined the Department of Telecommunications there, and now he works as an Assistant Professor.
He specializes in design of computer and communications networks. Although his background comes from technology, as he started his research in the reliability modelling and optimization of resilient multi-layer long-haul networks (like the ones based on GMPLS, that is, generalized multi-protocol label switching), later he moved towards to softer problems, like the effective provisioning of services to the network clients. Thus, he extended his interests to problems embracing the so-calledQuality of Recovery (QoR), resilience-based differentiation in communications/computer networks and QoS/QoR for peer-to-peer networking. Recently, Piotr has focused on risk-based communications networking, as he perceives this area as a very promising research field, where the interface between business needs and threats from one side and the resilience technology from the other can be used to obtain a practical equilibrium where the balance between client needs and technological possibilities can be found.

Piotr Chołdagraduated from AGH University of Science and Technology (Krakow, Poland) as a master of science in networking in 2001. Afterwards, he obtained a doctorate in telecommunications in 2006 from the same university. Then, he joined the Department of Telecommunications there, and now he works as an Assistant Professor.
He specializes in design of computer and communications networks. Although his background comes from technology, as he started his research in the reliability modelling and optimization of resilient multi-layer long-haul networks (like the ones based on GMPLS, that is, generalized multi-protocol label switching), later he moved towards to softer problems, like the effective provisioning of services to the network clients. Thus, he extended his interests to problems embracing the so-calledQuality of Recovery (QoR), resilience-based differentiation in communications/computer networks and QoS/QoR for peer-to-peer networking. Recently, Piotr has focused on risk-based communications networking, as he perceives this area as a very promising research field, where the interface between business needs and threats from one side and the resilience technology from the other can be used to obtain a practical equilibrium where the balance between client needs and technological possibilities can be found.

Piotr Chołdagraduated from AGH University of Science and Technology (Krakow, Poland) as a master of science in networking in 2001. Afterwards, he obtained a doctorate in telecommunications in 2006 from the same university. Then, he joined the Department of Telecommunications there, and now he works as an Assistant Professor.
He specializes in design of computer and communications networks. Although his background comes from technology, as he started his research in the reliability modelling and optimization of resilient multi-layer long-haul networks (like the ones based on GMPLS, that is, generalized multi-protocol label switching), later he moved towards to softer problems, like the effective provisioning of services to the network clients. Thus, he extended his interests to problems embracing the so-calledQuality of Recovery (QoR), resilience-based differentiation in communications/computer networks and QoS/QoR for peer-to-peer networking. Recently, Piotr has focused on risk-based communications networking, as he perceives this area as a very promising research field, where the interface between business needs and threats from one side and the resilience technology from the other can be used to obtain a practical equilibrium where the balance between client needs and technological possibilities can be found.

Recently, Piotr has focused on risk-based communications networking, as he perceives this area as a very promising research field, where the interface between business needs and threats from one side and the resilience technology from the other can be used to obtain a practical equilibrium where the balance between client needs and technological possibilities can be found.
